New York Jets: 7 Top options in 2018 NFL Free Agency
6. Allen Robinson, WR
First, let’s do as the song says and “Ac-Cent-Tchu-Ate the Positive.” In 2015-16, Robinson had 153 catches, 2,283 yards, and 20 touchdowns. He’s shown he can be a viable No. 1 target in the NFL. He’s also a scheme fit for the West Coast Offense.
That said, there’s a reason he’s so low on this list, when he normally wouldn’t be. He tore his ACL in their Week 1 matchup with the Texans. There’s a huge risk in signing a wide receiver who’s coming off an ACL tear, because he may no longer be the same guy he was.
Even though, according to Alec Brzezinski of the Sporting News, he said this:
"“Every team across the league knows what I’ve done in this league and what I’m capable of, so that’s not really an issue.”"
His injury should leave teams leery of what he could be. However, his talent demands him to be in the top 10 in pay for wide receivers. It’s a serious conundrum for the Jets, and one they will have to mull over. If they play their cards right, they could use the No. 6 pick on a wide receiver, and not have to worry about signing Robinson. With that said, he’s a talented star, if his knee holds up.
